[Individual-members-EL] letter to all EL parties regardingindividual members

[Stephen Spence]

So no reply from Pierre Laurant.  So far, so predictable.  The French
Communist Party does not support individual membership developing. I had a
number of conversations with them.

 

I'm afraid neither does Giorgios nor his party Synpaspismos.  I spoke to him
at the 3rd Congress in Paris and confirmed his opposition, which before I
had simply suspected.

 

Martin Heberg supported us amongst the staff, as did his party Die Linke.
Helmut Schulz just never achieved a result although he spoke up for us.

 

Let us see what happens, but I suspect nothing.  I have not paid my
subscription since 30th June 2011 and I was not able to get to either of the
trade union network meetings this year.  The European Left Party I'm afraid
to say is irrelevant to events in Britain.  When there was a hope it might
develop there was a point being engaged, but if this latest attempt fails, I
don't see much point in continuing as they say here to 'flog a dead horse'.

 

Best

 

Stephen

Subject: [Individual-members-EL] letter to all EL parties
regardingindividual members

 

Dear Giorgios Karatsioubanis,
enclosed I send you a letter which was signed by eight individual EL members
from different countries. The letter deals with the problem of the rights of
individual members apart and was sent by us to Pierre Laurant before the
last EL EX-Board meeting in early October. To date, neither a reply nor a
confirmation of receipt is received.

Since you as "employee" of EL are also responsible for us, the individual
members, we want to ask you officially to give this letter to all member and
observer parties of the EL at the latest till the next Board meeting in
January in Berlin. We hope that this letter will be formaly put on the
agenda and discussed during this meeting. 

At the same time we want to ask you, to communicate to all parties our
request, that in the upcoming budget of the EL for the year 2012 we would
like to have introduced a reasonable amount of money for an European meeting
of individual members to be organized next year with the aim to discuss and
organize our work within the EL. The existing working structures for
cooperation of the trade unionists or the EL-FEM-structures are well
established examples how we would like to go ahead in the future.

Thanks for your support. Please be so kind and keep us informed about your
activities regarding this letter.

Sincerely

Norbert
